Crock Pot Cheesy Tortellini by Ashley Self

My friend Lisa sent me this recipe and I made it last night for dinner.  My boys absolutely loved it, as did Jeremy and I.  I also made a simple salad to go with it.  I actually doubled it and it made a ton, so we will be eating on it this weekend.  I love having leftovers for the weekend to just grab instead of going out or having to cook. 
 
Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb sausage (I used Owens sausage)
15 oz. of marinara sauce
1 cup of fresh sliced mushrooms (I used canned)
1 can of Italian diced tomatoes
9 oz. refrigerated cheese tortellini's ( I used whole wheat)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
 
Directions:
Brown beef and sausage in skillet.  Mix with marinara, tomatoes, and mushrooms in crock pot and cook covered on low heat for 7-8 hours. Stir in tortellini's and add mozzarella cheese on top about 20 minutes or until the tortellini's are heated through.
 
Enjoy!!

Bulldog Brittle

Apparently this recipe has been around for a long time but until this past Christmas I have never eaten it----loved, loved, loved it!! As always my favorite recipe's are those that are delicious and easy, so here's another one. Donna Bulldog Brittle 8 whole graham crackers 1 cup of chopped pecans 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1/2 cup sugar This is so good and so inexpensive to make that you will probably want to double the recipe. Break crackers into fourths. Place on foiled lined cookie sheet pan, leaving space between crackers. Sprinkle chopped pecans over top of crackers. Melt margarine and butter in boiler. Add sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 2 minutes, pour over pecans and crackers. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT BROWN. Let cool and break into pieces.

A Littel Tidbit by Ashley

Ok, so this isn't a recipe, but something tells me you will all want to know.  I have been meaning to tell my Mom, Lindsey, and Kimberly but keep forgetting. If someone told me I could only have two things in my make-up bag, it would probably be eyeliner and mascara.  I found a new mascara that I love.  This is coming from someone who's favorite was $27 dollar a tube Lancome mascara.  It is lashblast from Cover Girl.  O magazine rated it #1 best mascara of this year! I love it!! Just thought I would share! 

Simple Cole Slaw by Ashley

I love coleslaw, all different kinds, but I have never made it before. A girl that I don't know has a recipe blog that I go to often and I got this recipe from her. I loved that it said "simple". Simple I can do. *my Dad loves coleslaw as well, but is kind of a coleslaw snob and he really liked it. *i served it with homemade sloppy joes and tater tots :) Ingredients: 1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise ( I am sure you can use any kind of mayo, but this is better for you.) 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3 cups packaged cabbage and carrot coleslaw Directions: Combine mayo, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard with a whisk. Add coleslaw and toss.
